Students who enroll in UNT’s Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science for the 2019 fall semester will have the option of combining study in the sciences with study in the arts. The academy is the nation’s first residential program for gifted high schoolers to take rigorous college classes with the option of conducting original scientific research at a university while earning a diploma. It will offer three new tracks in music, media arts, and visual arts and design, adding to its existing tracks of science and computer science and engineering.

The three new tracks will allow students to develop their multiple interests and talents.
